WHISKEY, TEA AND THE HOMESICK BLUES fic rec, by Lee_Whimsy
Summary: History calls them the northern kings, and writes elegies on their tombs: the generals who survived six months under siege in a crumbling city, and the kings who rebuilt their countries stone by stone.

For anyone who thinks that a story MUST have sex in it to be readable, I beg to differ, and offer this superb fic as a prime example. This is set modern-day, and details the long road to friendship between two distinctly different personalities, a friendship forged in the fires of war. Lee_Whimsy does more with fewer than 10K words than most writers, myself included, can do with many times that. Go, read, and please leave the author a comment!
